KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

That move..

That afternoon at the house of the village head of Air Ketuan, according to the name of the village where Lestini and her sister lived, the village head was receiving two elders of the Green Bamboo college. One of them is the vice chairman of the college nicknamed ‘Pendekar Swordsman Thousand Bamboo’ . Men in their 50s with average height and partially bleached hair. Her real name is Kardak. The nickname of the Thousand Bamboo Sword is not because this swordsman uses bamboo or other, but more because he comes from the Green Bamboo Padepokan, even if the nickname ‘Bambu’ Sword is caused by his sword weapon, but more because he is from the Green Bamboo Sword, of course it was because the handle of his sword was patterned like bamboo but made of a very strong but soft material.

While his partner, is a slightly fat, older swordsman with a slightly bald head on the front and center of his head. Has the real name Winamar, he is the ‘Green’ Stick Swordsman, the first direct teacher Kulais before being guided by a master teacher padepokan. Included among the strongest warriors in the Green Bamboo college. It is clear that the arrival of the two to the village chief's house is to question the existence of foreign youths who have injured their talented college student, Kulais.

Of course the village chief who did not know about the commotion in front of the village gate became confused. He immediately asked that to his assistant, who was also answered with a headband. This made the two start getting angry. They assume the village head does not care about the condition of his students who are struggling to secure his village.

In the eyes of the elders, Kulais who led the mission of the college to help the village was considered not to get proper treatment for all his services and great efforts. During the night they guard this village and prevent the mysterious deaths that are happening to this village so as not to continue to take casualties. But of course, everything that the two elders submitted was only based on the claims and reports of Kulais and his group. In fact, in the report submitted by Kulais, he was injured because he faced one of the members of the black stream who came to disrupt the village.

While the village chief just silently lowered his head without daring to refute. His heart felt arrogant and wanted to refute all the words of the two elders.

How can a man whose work is just mabok and blackmail traders and even residents who want to go in and out of the village gate can be called meritorious? Even many residents who have already come out are reluctant to return to the village not only because of fear of being the victim of mysterious deaths but also because every want to go out and enter the village is required to pay a sum of money to the guards. Everything is known by the village head because it is the residents themselves who report to him. However, the village head could only silence the behavior of the Green Bamboo students. To be exact, he was helpless.

“We want, the young man is responsible for his actions!” Said the vice-chairman, the Thousand Bamboo Sword swordsman.

The village chief just silently bowed. Refuting or explaining the situation will only make both of them angry and end up not well. The village chief was quite familiar with the habits of the two. The magic swordsmen of the Green Bamboo was notoriously grumpy and did not hesitate to play hands if anyone dared to argue against both. Habits that seemed more suitable were attached to black-flow swordsmen characters rather than white-flow groups like them.

It seemed, the habits that Kulais and his comrades possessed were passed down from these elders. Perhaps that was what the village chief thought, in his resignation he was forced to nod his head assenting. I hope the two leave her soon.

“Good, sir. If any of our citizens see him wandering in this village, we will definitely ask to meet the two masters to account for his actions. I promise, sir!” that's all the words spoken by the village chief. The atmosphere was silent for a moment before suddenly..

‘DUM..! TAR!.! ... DUM.. TAR! ...DUM..! TAR!.’

Three times a thumping sound was heard in the sky of the north side of the village chief's residence.

The three who were sitting in the gazebo of the village headman's house immediately set their sights on the source of the sound. Above the sky where the source of the sound came from, a colorful look of red-white-green powder billowed through the air. It is a signal or a sign from a group to its other members.

Is this village being invaded? All three thought the same seeing the unusual thing.

No longer waiting any longer, the two great warriors from the Green Bamboo store immediately shot towards the source of the sound. While the village head immediately returned to his house to take his weapons and followed the two warriors to the forest near the village followed by his assistant.

The two magic swordsmen from Padepokan Bambu Hijau have reached the forest area where the sound of booming comes from. Thanks to Science lightening their two tall bodies, they could arrive in no time.

They were quite shocked when entering the forest, they were greeted with the sound of energy explosions that seemed to not stop for a second. The unusual explosive sound of a fight, unless the fight is done by highly skilled warriors. There must be a great fight going on in this forest, that was how their short-sighted instincts digested the situation back then.

They examined him and soon found a young man being ganged up by four black-clothed warriors in one corner of a forest not far from the river.

“Who are they? Do you recognize that uniform?” Kardak, the Thousand Bamboo Swordsman asked the elder beside him. The Green Stick Swordsman who was asked only shook his head in response while squinting.

“That young man, look at it! Isn't that the moves of the Golden Sun?” The Green Stick Swordsman pointed towards the battleground.

He turned out to recognize the style used by the young man who was none other than Gentayu as a move from the Golden Sun.

Of course the moves of the Golden Sun are not foreign to both. In addition to the elders of the two colleges often carry out various joint missions assigned by the kingdom, they also often meet in various martial arts matches. The appearance of such a young figure who was fighting and perfectly mastered the high-level moves of the Golden Sun paddle certainly surprised the two elders.

“Who is this young man? Is not it after the death of the late Ki Brajawana, only Bandu Aji and Juwana whose mastery of science is highest? Even I heard, both have not mastered the moves perfectly?” Kardak who served as vice chairman certainly has a fairly complete knowledge of the universities in this Lamahtang region. As he remembered, the figure of this great young man had never appeared before from the Golden Sun's fist.

Their eyes then focused more and more on the battlefield. The fight is entering a new phase. The rhythm of the fight became increasingly fierce and faster.

The four Gentayu opponents had taken out their respective weapons. One of them uses a twin sword, while a thick-bodied person uses a type of needle and is tied with a small metal rope, made of metal, the other most tall swordsmen use whips of serrated metal with the tip having a sharp spiked ball. One of the smallest of the four chose to fight from a distance using thrown knives.

Although still young, of course Gentayu understands that the weapon used by the four opponents is a weapon coated with poison. One of the characters of the black flow people is not reluctant to use sneaky ways to win the fight. Using poison was one of the most common ones done by almost the entire black stream group.

Gentayu himself did not want to risk blocking their weapons with his Fire Dragon Shield. Although it was likely that the weapon would not be able to pierce through his skin, the poison released from each of those weapons could still affect him.

Suddenly Gentayu pulled out a sword that was recognized by the two elders of the Green Bamboo as the heirloom sword of the Golden Sun Swordsman, the sword of Satam. The two of them continued to observe the course of the fight from a safe and sheltered distance.

“The sword.. Satam's sword! It seemed, this young man had inherited all the abilities of Brajawana. Now for us it doesn't really matter who this young man is and why we've never heard of his work. Clearly, when the people of the Golden Sun fought seriously like this, surely the opponent he faced was a member of the black flow group!” Winamar, the Green Stick warrior gave an opinion.

“I agree, brother. So, let's help the young man! It's been a long time my muscles lack exercise.” Kardak the vice-chairman became excited.

“Wait!” suddenly the Green Stick swordsman signaled for his partner to refrain from engaging in the fight first.

Two women emerged from the thickets of the bush across the battle arena, destroying part of the forest. They immediately engaged in a fight and immediately shared the opponent. Two people, namely a swordsman with a twin sword and who uses a throwing knife still face Gentayu. The rest face one other opponent each.

“Who are they? They seem to be strangers. Are we going to help?” The green stick sworer asks Kardak's opinion. Even though he was more senior, but he still had to ask for Kardak's approval because of his position as vice chairman.

“I will still take one against the young man, brother help the two women.!” Kardak immediately jumped into the middle of the fighting arena followed by Winamar behind him. He directly lunged at the swordsman who was using a flying knife which happened to be a bit far away from the other three comrades.

The presence of the two elder figures from Green Bamboo had shocked the two parties fighting. But not long after that the fight resumed after they all saw where the two were siding.

Now Gentayu only has to face a swordsman who uses a twin sword.

Initially he was quite troubled when he had to face four opponents at once so he was forced to use his navel sword. By facing only one opponent, Gentayu did not take too long to turn things around. With his speed drastically increased, his sword immediately made scratches on his opponent's skin.

In fact, this combatant had quite good abilities. Had they fought before Gentayu met the Silver Moon Swordsman, of course Gentayu was not a meaningful opponent for this twin swordsman. But Gentayu was currently able to master perfectly the styles of the Golden Sun, Silver Moon and Fire Dragon at once so as to make it above the wind.

The wounds on the body of the twin swordsmen were indeed only small scratches because it turned out that this swordsman had a kind of immune science. Unfortunately, the sword that Gentayu used was not a random sword. Swords made from this meteor stone are naturally efficacious to neutralize poison, and also melt the influence of black magic opponents including the immune science possessed as long as it comes from black power.

This twin swordsman began to get frustrated as his body continued to receive wounds while his opponent was getting more and more untouched. Flashes of his powerful twin sword energy shot out countless times and only smashed into empty space.

Suddenly this warrior jumped backwards. His sword was plugged into the ground and immediately the ground around the fighting area trembled although not too hard. This action was followed by three colleagues who also both began to hurt. The four of them stood their backs to each other.

While other warriors who helped Gentayu seemed to be waiting vigilantly for the next incident, Gentayu did something different. With lightning speed, he broke through ‘formation’ and messed up whatever it was that the four warriors of the Black Centipede were doing.

The new formation will be formed the four back to collapse. The twin swordsman who became his opponent even received a giant sword stab in the abdomen even though the actual stab was still deflected. While the other three members of the ghost centipede who avoided the slash of the satanic sword and the fierce heat from Gentayu's body all crashed into the bushes. Although unharmed, the weapons of all the members of the Ghost Centipede were left near the foot of the gentayu who was now holding his sword and pressing it deeper into the belly of the twin swordsman.

Gentayu pulled his sword quickly from his opponent's stomach followed by blood spurting before lightning quick slashed it into his opponent's neck. The neck was cut off neatly with the head as if it remained in its place. Swordsman of the Ghost centipede died without a chance to make a sound.

The other three members of the Ghost Centipede became slightly wry. The Twin Swordsman was the strongest of the five men sent after the two women who were now as if protected by the three foreign warriors. Sundari, though believed to be the leader of the group, was chosen only because he was more cunning than the others.

The other three remaining groups of Ghost Centipedes immediately stood up and looked at each other. Looks like they're up to something.

Suddenly one of them, the thick swordsman the ‘poisonous needle’ took something out from behind his clothes, but he had not had time to do something with the object in his hand, he said, a green sword clad in bamboo motif had slid down and stabbed and pierced through his left chest. It turned out that one of the elders who helped Gentayu, the bamboo swordsman managed to read the movements of his former opponent and finish him off. 'Something' from the swordsman's hands the thick-bodied poisonous needle fell slid down his feet and...

'Blup!...'

A small explosive sound was heard as it finally broke apart as it hit the tree branch under its feet.
